Green Lynx Spider (Peucetia viridans) with prey

Looks like this gal grabbed a Fiery Skipper (Hylephila phyleus) for lunch. Don’t be too quick to choose one species over another. Balance is important, so be accepting of all predator/prey interactions. This spider does not construct a web, captures prey by grabbing it when it gets close. Lil miss skippy just got too close 😉
